The 5th Wave - Trailer Thoughts.

Photo Source Link Ashvini: January 17th, 2016!!  First off, I absolutely love this movie poster and I think it totally looks 5 th Wave-ish. Now, my thoughts on the trailer… It looks good. I just find that the way this trailer is cut up is very confusing. I showed this trailer to a cousin who hasn’t read the book and his reaction was: “It’s okay.” I feel slightly nervous about this because The 5 th Wave was such a successful book and in turn I feel that the movie should appeal to more than just readers of the book. One thing in the book that Cassie said was “Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping against the sky.” That’s a very unique thing to say when you’re about to fight evil and that quote contributed quite a bit to my love for the book in so many ways, so I was a bit disappointed when they changed that up in the trailer to, what I find a very common (in general) thing to say. The cast and characters… I really love Chloe Gr

The Boundless - Kenneth Oppel.

I cannot think of another book that took place on a moving vehicle for most of the book. There were so many features that made this book unique. But all in all I especially enjoyed the plot and how it was an adventure book mixed with plenty of surprises. I had heard about this book from many people all who had enjoyed it. I was full of sasquatches and circus tricks and a bog woman. I have read books with characters that I felt closer to (I feel like that's more of a thing for series') but the plot made up for it. It was a bit slow paced at the beginning but I still had a fun time reading it.  I felt like as soon as you got past the big event that turns every thing around things started to get faster. I loved how near the end you get a bunch of big surprises and can't really tell whose side is the "good" side. I l

Miss. Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs.

We completely lied to you last review because today we're actually going to be reviewing Ms. Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children which has nothing to do with the clues we gave you on our Loki's Wolves review. For that reason we're not going to be leaving clues on this particular post... Photo Source Link  Emma's Rating: 4.5/5 Ashvini's Rating: 5/5 Emma: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was so fun to read with those pictures. I honestly think that there is no other word to describe them other then peculiar. I enjoyed looking at them as I read the story. But it wasn't just the pictures that made this story unique. As I read about Jacobs adventures and learned more about the children that his grandfather had lived with. There is not very much that I can say without spoiling it because it is so fast paced and almost immediately I was hooked. Anyways if you have not read it and are planning to, (which I highly suggest you to do) th

The Maze Runner - Book-To-Movie.

Photo Source Link (s) Finally what you have all been waiting for:) Emma's Rating: 4/5 Ashvini's Rating: 4/5 Emma: That movie was one of the most relatable movies to the book. Wow. Their were a few small details that were so small that I am not even going to mention them. Like the fact that the maze had windows so you could actually see the grievers were as in the movie they just magically know. While their were smaller things their were also bigger things that were harder to pass by. For instance in the book the characters did not swear. Instead the gladers had their own swear words, (shuck, shank, ... and so on) but in the movie the characters swore 24/7. (Ashvini: Not 24/7...)  Oddly though, about once or twice they said shank and that really struck me as weird because their was no point, they were already swearing. In my opinion the books were more detailed. I knew where every thing was and everything was so organized. I knew that in one corner was
